What Migos Really Mean By Their Song 'Straightenin'
Directly following the "straightenin'" lines, Quavo drops some knowledge about his upcoming film debut: "Been kicking s***, poppin' out daily / On an island, it's a movie I'm making / I'm counting dineros with Robert De Niro / He telling 'em that Cho amazing." He's not just dropping De Niro's name because it sounds sort of like "dinero"; Quavo is actually co-starring with Robert De Niro in the upcoming thriller film "Wash Me in the River," directed by "The Irishman" producer Randall Emmett and slated to hit theaters in 2022 (via The Wrap).
Quavo plays (what else?) a gangster named Coyote, and had nothing but praise for his twice-Oscar-winning costar. "He's a nice dude," he told NME, adding, "I told him I said a line in one of my new songs about the trip I just took, and he was just like, 'For real. M-I-G-O-S, right?' I was like, 'Yeah, he's finna go home and look me up.' It was too hard."
Given that De Niro is old enough to be Quavo's grandfather, it's not exactly shocking he wasn't readily familiar with the group. Here's hoping he digs the tunes when he finds them on Spotify.
